3Which of the following physical topologies has the most connections and is the least popular for LANs?
- ABus
- BStar
- CRing
- DMesh
4In a physical star topology, what happens when a workstation loses its physical connection to another device?
- AThe ring is broken, so no devices can communicate
- BOnly that workstation loses its ability to communicate
- CThat workstation and the device it's connected to lose communication with the rest of the network
- DNo devices can communicate because there are now two unterminated network segments
5Which type of WAN technology uses labels, which enables priority of voice through the network?
- AVPN
- BT1
- CMPLS
- DLAN
- EBus
6What is a logical grouping of network users and resources called?
- AWAN
- BLAN
- CMPLS
- DHost
7Which of the following is a concern when using peer-to-peer networks?
- AWhere to place the server
- BWhose computer is least busy and can act as the server
- CThe security associated with such a network
- DHaving enough peers to support creating such a network
8Which of the following is an example of when a point-to-multipoint network is called for?
- AWhen a centralized office needs to communicate with many branch offices
- BWhen a full mesh of WAN links is in place
- CWhen multiple offices are daisy-chained to one another in a line
- DWhen there are only two nodes in the network to be connected
9Which of the following is an example of a LAN?
- ATen buildings interconnected by Ethernet connections over a fiber-optic network
- BTen routers interconnected by Frame Relay circuits
- CTwo routers interconnected with a T1 circuit
- DA computer connected to another computer so they can share resources
10Which of the following is a disadvantage of the star topology?
- AWhen a single port on the central connecting device fails, the entire network loses connectivity
- BWhen the central connecting device experiences a complete failure, all attached devices lose connectivity to the rest of the network
- CIn a star topology, a more expensive type of host must be used compared to the host used when implementing a physical bus
- DIt is more difficult to add stations and troubleshoot than with other topologies
11What is the difference between a LAN and a WAN?
- AWANs require a router
